Living simply is one of the best ways to create wealth (but let's be honest, it's hard to do). Living in only 150 square feet for years, Ryan Mitchell has learned a thing or two about living simply. Ryan's done everything from downsizing to life simplification and designing a life right for you. He built his own tiny house in 2012, learning as he went along, which inspired him to help others in their journey to live small. Today, he still lives in his tiny house full time and off-grid with solar, teaching others how to live. In this reboot episode, we talk about ways to simplify your life, why it matters, how to build wealth by living simply, and how it might be the missing piece to achieving your desired things.

Let's talk about debt. There’s a lot of shame and fear around debt, and much of it is stirred up by money experts who want you to believe that you aren’t good enough unless you are debt-free. Can we please cut the crap and be honest about debt. We all have had it or will have it. It does not reflect who you are or your skills with money. Life happens. You go to school and take on debt. You had a leak in your roof and needed to put the repairs on your credit cards. You went shopping to feel better about yourself. It’s not a crime. Leslie Tayne, a leading New York financial attorney and Founder and Managing Director of Tayne Law Group, says that debt is never a death sentence, contrary to what some will have you believe. This is your masterclass in debt, and this conversation will load you with useful tips and leave you feeling much better about debt in general. In this episode, you will walk away with everything you need to reframe, pay off, and create healthy habits around debt. Leslie and I talk about: What your rights are re: debt collectors (what they can/can’t do) What debt negotiation and settlement options exist (and how it all works) How certain life changes affect debt (loved ones passing, divorce)  How to pay off your debt Links Tayne Law Group Leslie on Instagram SPONSORS Thanks to NerdWallet for sponsoring the show.

Without thinking, tell me your first thought that comes to mind about money. My guess is your thought isn’t super positive. And that’s not your fault. Your brain is always driving what you’re feeling and how you’re acting, and is where all the programming you get from society and your family is stored - especially when it comes to money. This all goes into your brain, and then your brain comes up with its own idea about money. So, you must learn how to rewire your thoughts about money. The reason you don’t change isn’t because you don’t want to. Instead, your wiring about money and your thoughts about money are keeping you stuck. I want you to meet Kara Loewentheil. You might know her as the host of the top-rated podcast Unf*ck Your Brain. She’s also a J.D., a Master Certified Coach, the creator of The Clutch, and the author of a soon-to-be-released book, Take Back Your Brain.  In this episode, we talk practically about how to rewire your money mindset and how to think better thoughts when it comes to your money (like getting rid of needing to hide the stuff you buy) with something Kara calls the thought ladder and something I know you’ll love, how to get out of the scarcity mindset, and so much more.

Our guest, Whitney Hansen, host of the Money Nerds podcast, knows something about bringing in more cash flow. She has tried and tested many side hustles to find the most profitable and worthy of your time. In this episode, we talk about her most profitable side hustles, and I’m talking ways to bring in $500 - a couple of thousands of dollars a month, why she thinks starting an Airbnb side hustle might not be wise this year, and how to turn your skills and talents into extra cash quickly. Let this be the year you unstick yourself - the year where you create cash flow and move it towards your goals. The year of making money work instead of lamenting that there isn’t enough. Hopefully, Whitney will give you enough of a gentle nudge in this conversation to get the confidence to start. Let’s start talkin’.

I'm not a big fan of money goals. Instead, I like to think about setting money intentions. A money intention is a feeling or a why behind your goal. This feeling or why becomes a strong motivating factor to take all the steps necessary to achieve your goal. Intentions are also focused on your thoughts around money. If you have debt and are always thinking you suck at money, well, your brain isn't super motivated to get rid of that debt. In this annual New Year's episode, I'm sharing how to set your money intentions for 2024, how to deal with those negative nagging thoughts, and exercises to help you release your money mistakes from 2023.
